...and then we went to NEST
in Mystic
Wow!
We walked in the door and didn't know which way to look first.
Every inch sparkled with holiday magic!
And beside all the wonderful Christmas decor...
...there were many antique and vintage treasures to be found!
There were vintage typewriters, black and white transferware,
old journals and wood drawers mixed in with new and interesting
candles, faux greenery and gifts for everyone on your list!
I was tempted to add to my wicker covered bottle collection.
So much inspiration to be found!
WHOooo wants to go shopping here?
And...oh...the beautiful and unique jewelry!
I am told that Marcia, the owner of this marvelous shop,
also makes many of the jewelry pieces herself!
Loved the turquoise and silver ornaments...
The vintage golf trophy in back was fabulous!
Hotel silver and pretty vintage glass...
Cupboards of cookbooks, kitchen items, aprons and ribbons...
... and shelves of soft stuffies and sweet gifts
Wire and button stars...
And then there were lovely clothes and leather goods.
I spy something I brought home with me!
In fact, I brought quite a few things home with me!
If you are anywhere near Mystic, Connecticut this holiday season...
...be sure to stop in to NEST!
How's your holiday shopping going?
Did you shop small and local this year?

I was eyeing that trophy and scrolled down to see your comment....surprise, surprise! Gorgeous shop Laura. I'm sure you had a ball in there.
I am only buying vintage and small dealer items this year. It's something that I believe is very important to support and love the gifts that I have found thus far!
Happy holidays....!

Magical!! There is no way I could leave there without LOTS of stuff. In fact,I wouldn't want to leave at all!! Thanks for sharing the beauty.
Glitter, glitter, glitter!! It's all so pretty. We spent Saturday in Austin, Texas shopping the vintage market. Love shopping small business
This is one of my favorite shops, always a delight to browse and buy! Have not been in a while but it is now on my list to take a trip. Thanks for the inspiration Laura!
WOW!!!!!
It would take me a couple of hours to go through that shop! Just full of magic. What did you bring home. I have very little shopping to do and do it all at local stores and shops.
WOW, that is my kind of place!
Beautiful images!
XOXO,
Anne
I love it, come and see my shoppingpost! Lovely dutch greetings
That looks like a great shop! I think I would have spent all day there.
It looks very similar to Nesting on Main in Concord, Mass. Same type of merchandise and color scheme.
I did shop local. No mall shopping for me.
WOW, so beautiful pictures, thank you!
Greetings from Germany

Thank you so much for sharing all those photos. If I lived in the area I would so be there. But I will instead be satisfied with all the images and great ideas for my own decorating. Great post!!!
I could stay in that magic house for days! Did you feel like Alice when she slipped into wonderland? Thank you SO much for sharing your incredible, beautiful visit!
OMG, I must get to Mystic! Nest would have me drooling up a storm. I haven't been down there since 1975ish, and It's not that far, really...Have a lovely holiday!
Hugs
